A multi-period Batavian show! You could count the Batavi juniores Britanniciani in on that

Hi all,
I finally completed my clipeus for my COH I BAT MCRPF impression, so I thought I would post a pic. We have an event coming this week, and I will post some pics next week of my complete auxiliary kit. Regards, Edge

Dave,
Thanks, I did paint it myself. Fortunately, Peronis' instructions and illustrations were very detailed -- it would have been impossible without them. Regards, Edge

I'm still tempted to attach a Batavian auxilia cohort to our group. But as we depict soldiers from Legio XI CPF I don't know if it would be right... Legio XI CPF was one of the legions that surpressed the revolt... I don't know if they would have get along nicely afterwards... Or if they would have send a legion that had operated with them in the past to fight against them...
What do you guys think?

Thanks, Brother -- unless you are a Michaelangelo like Peronis, make sure you set aside about 20 hours from first coat of green through the last bit of brown outlining. :lol:

Quote:from first coat of green through the last bit of brown outlining. Here's a tip.. Paint the yellow FIRST! Painting yellow on top of a darker base colour will weaken the impact of the yellow, and it will need two coats (or more). If you have a white undercoat (or start with white linen) the yellow will stand out much better. Then paint the darker colour around the yellow pattern.
